Look Out for CodIing Moths.

The codling moth or apple worm may
be prevented at a nominal expense, and
much fruit saved, by spraying the trees
with Paris green. Apply the poison at
the rate of about one ounce to every three
gallons of water. Spray the trees twice,
early in the spring as soon as the fruit has
set and again before the growing apple
turns downward on the stem.

Common Sense in Houss eu,,a,n.


In planning house do not think OF the
exterior at first, but agree on the size of
each needed room, and arrange those Of
the main floor on n sheet of paper. drawn
10 scale, so that they are most convent
emily clustered. Shift them about as YOU
do the castles on chess board until they
group well. Put the porch with the main
door on the east or south side, also the
living room. Place the dining room TO the
north or west and the parlor facing the
road. Add the kitchen on the north or
west If possible, and next TO the dining
room. Put the stairs where you can
reach them conveniently from the living
room. Then consider the position of the
needed chimneys. Not until all this has
been well laid out do you consider the ex-
terror. The fact is you build house to
in it. II the interior is well planned
the outside viii take care of itself. In
architecture, as well as elsewhere, the
natural is the beautiful.
